lyrics

i am jagged i am clear
i just have to get out of here
i am soaring i am space
and i'm trying hard to hide my face
afraid you will see into me
the heat and night and spring inside me
nothing that you did was wrong
but i've just been away too long
forgot the power of a song
and the passion of the singer
you're a road i can not travel, and you're wine i cannot drink
and a song that forever haunts me on nights when i cannot sleep

electricity and music
fill this starry night in may
i know i'm a fool to open up
and lose myself this way
entranced by undercurrents
in the things that you do and do not say
but roads diverge, we separate,
your path i can never know
but we're dancing at the junction
and watch this night get old
you're a road i can not travel,
and you're wine i cannot drink
and a song that forever haunts me
on nights when i cannot sleep

someone else is driving
and i ride mesmerized
by lights and lines and lives in motion,
words and feelings left unspoken
greener fields that leave me broken,
willing shards upon your wooden floor
held up to the light of day
the magic slowly drains away
and i am left just as before,
try and chase your shadow out my door
you're a road i can not travel,
and you're wine i cannot drink
and a song that forever haunts me
on nights when i cannot sleep

your song will forever haunt me
and tonight i cannot sleep
